SMOKING DEVICE Filed.Nov. 16, 1956 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Harvey C. 57% ifz pmwbmu v am Attorney Patented Feb. 15, 1938 NlTED STATES ATENT OFEFKCE 1 Claim.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in smoking devices particularly for cigarettes or cigars and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character which may be conveniently placed on a suitable support adjacent the smoker when in use.

Another very important object of the invention is to provide a smoking device of the aforementioned character which is adapted to retain ashes, cigarette and cigar butts, burnt matches, etc., and which may be conveniently emptied when desired.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a smoking deviceof the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly eflicient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of thefollowing specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:-

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention. Figure 2 is a detail view in vertical longitudinal section through the mouthpiece and the adjacent portion of the flexible tube.

Figure 3 is a veiw in vertical longitudinal section through a portion of the invention.

Figure 4 is an end elevational view with the 0 flexible tube and the holder omitted.

Figure 5 is a detail view .in vertical longitudinal section through the cigarette or cigar holder with the adjacent portion of the flexible tube.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which 'has been illustrated comprises a substantially rectangular, metallic casing of suitable dimensions, said casing being designated generally by the reference numeral I and including a bottom 2, side walls 3 and end walls 4 and 5. The upper portions of the side walls 3 of the casing I are perforated, as at 6. The casing I is open at its top and removably mounted thereon is a substantially anticlinal cover I having perfora tions 8 therein.

Projecting inwardly from a circular opening in the end wall 4 of the casing I is a neck 9 in which a cigarettev or cigar holder I0 is mounted. The reference numeral II designates a flexible smoke tube having one end connected to the holder I0. On the other end of the tube II is a mouthpiece 12. The reference numeral I3 designates a cigarette, shown in dotted lines, mounted in the holder I0.

(01. lat-51) The end wall 4 of the casing I is spaced from the bottom 2 in a manner to provide an opening which accommodates a slidable removable pan or tray I I. The front ISof the pan I4 is provided with a handle- I6. As illustrated to advantage in Figure 3 of the drawings, the front I5 includes an integral stop, H on its upperedge engageable with the end wall 4 of the casing I.

It is thought that the manner of using the device will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. The cover 1 is removed from the casing I to permit the insertion and lighting of a cigarette or cigar in the holder I I! after which said cover is, of course, replaced. The device may then be mounted on a convenient support, the mouthpiece I2 is placed in the mouth and the smoke is drawn through the flexible tube I I. By reason of the length of the flexible tube I I a cool, dry smoke is assured. Ventilation is had through the perforations 6 and 8. Ashes from the cigarette or cigar drop into the pan I4 which may be conveniently removed from the casing I for emptying. It will thus be seen that the dropping or scattering of ashes will be avoided. Also, the cigarette or cigar butts, when they are removed from the holder I0, may simply be dropped into the pan I4. I

It is believed that the many advantages of a smoking pipe constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

What is claimed is:-

A smoking device of the class described comprising a rectangular metallic casing including a bottom, end walls-and side walls, the top of the casing being open and the side walls having perforations therein in substantially the upper halves of said walls, a neck projecting inwardly from one of the end walls, said neck projecting into the perforated part of the casing, the said end wall having an opening in its lower half, a drawer passing through the opening into the unperforated part of the casing, a holder for cigarettes and cigars having a reduced part passing through the neck and a head located in the perforated part of the casing, a tube connected with the projecting portion of the reduced part, a mouth piece on the free end of the tube, a substantially anticlinal perforated cover fitting over the upper open end of the casing, the internal walls of the easing and cover being plain and unobstructed with the exception of the neck.
